Art UK publishes an annual report of new public sculptures, including those of “named men and women”. Last year, it says, there were more statues erected to the living than to the dead. It distinguishes these 26 persons by race – 10 black and 16 white – and by sex – 12 women and 14 men. The charity says disapprovingly that the people depicted in our public sculpture remain “overwhelmingly white men”.
Douglas Brinkley, a historian and bestselling author, will present “The Business Innovators: Henry Ford to Jeff Bezos” April 16 as this year’s Rudolf G. Schade Lecture on History, Ethics and Law.
